SDRCC is not for everyone, and can not possibly cover all elements of "climate action" - it's just not possible for us to be the experts in everything for everyone. This frustrates folks, but we try to be as clear as we can about "staying in our lane" and making space for all types of climate leadership

Lack of interest in collaboration/collab burnout

Some folks who are already advanced in their climate practice don't feel the need to have a support network. There are also many other organizations in the region, so folks can get burnout from meetings and collaboration

Our member network has grown to include more than just public agencies in recent years. More recently, we are leaning more into sponsorship and alternate funding routes, and we have decided to present our value to potential sponsors as an organization that has continued to elevate regional climate leadership regardless of funding and policy challenges at the federal level.

# data[].attributes.body
We are trying to address the siloed nature of our networks by offering more cross-cutting opportunities and covering topics that multiple regions within our province are interested in

# data[].attributes.body
This is something we are thinking through, we collect stories and member experiences, connections that have led to longer term collaborations and projects, how we have contributed to the community of practice (like out work on the 5th Climate assessment)

# data[].attributes.body
It is currently evolving! It started at as a very science and local government focused collaborative and has expanded to focus more on a community of practice, being a trusted source of information and developing the best practices, bringing in more community based organizations and focusing on cross-sector collaboration, now we are still doing all of that but leaning more into holding the role as climate librarian and technical assistance navigators
